    Migrated Mojang to Microsoft; Launcher is now asking for a username


    Hello,

    A while back I migrated my Mojang account to my Microsoft account. I recently redownloaded the Minecraft launcher by logging into the website. My profile name was correct and my skin was exactly how I remembered. Once I downloaded the launcher and signed in, it would prompt me to enter a username. The user name I previously had was 'taken' and my skin had been changed. Why might this happen? When I log into the Java Edition of Minecraft, the realms that I was apart of, are now gone. Including my own. I believe it is only letting me play the Java edition due to my access to Gamepass, however, I had the license previously. I also received the cape you get when you migrate your account over to Microsoft. I have bought the license to Minecraft several times on several systems, and quite honestly, if I have to do it again, I don't think I will play it anymore.

    From what its sounds like is, I didn't migrate the account over. Though, I had the cape the last time I played. I remember migrating because it was a rough process.

    Can my old information be recovered?

    :)

    why is minecraft asking me to change my username after updating the launcher?

    Hello Lewcio , I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

    Minecraft may ask you to change your username after updating the launcher due to several important reasons.

    - Account Migration: Mojang, the company that develops Minecraft, has been migrating Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts, During this process, you may be asked to change your username.

    - Username already in use: If your username is being used by another account, you may be asked to change it

    - Launcher Update: Some Minecraft launcher updates may require you to change your username.

    Lost account in Minecraft Migration

    It says this account has been migrated and to use microsoft to log in, but none of my microsoft accounts are connected to that mojang account, the microsoft username, isabelly6738, is even in my minecraft launcher.

    HELP ME I LOST MINECRAFT ACCOUNT

    this is not a launcher bug. microsoft literally deleted my account for nothing. my current username is gone, but my previous username is still there. and on the hypixel server, people could still see my current skyblock island with my current name. this is so glitchy help me, mojang is part of microsoft so microsoft should be able to help. if microsoft had not asked people to migrate, all these wouldnt have happened.

    Unable to login to Minecraft Launcher after migrating account :/

    I want to log into my old username though. This logs me in as my Xbox Live Gamertag, not my migrated Mojang username which I've had since the the java edition was in beta. If I click the username in the top-left corner of the launcher to select my old username, it makes me sign in again and will not accept my Microsoft password so the problem doesn't end for me.

    Minecraft migration

    That's normal, you can't access the old Mojang account after the migration, you need to use the email you used to migrate the Mojang account to, in the launcher you need to select Minecraft Java and then Microsoft login and then use the email you use during the migration process
